The kidnapper crashed heavily to the ground, his gun falling to the ground beside him.
For a moment, everyone was startled by the gunshot.
Ding Yu, who was closest, reacted the fastest. He kicked the kidnapper's gun aside. Just as he was about to check on the kidnapper's condition, he saw that his brains had splattered out and he was dead beyond any doubt. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"The kidnapper has been killed," the sniper reported.
Police officers with handguns surrounded them.
As soon as Ding Yu was dropped off, he went to check on Zhao Qinglan's safety. Zhao Qinglan was nearby, and when she turned her head and saw the scene of being shot, she started to vomit while lying on the car.
Rong Daming was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his face pale. The other hostages also reacted in various ways.
For those who have never witnessed such a scene, the image is incredibly disturbing and impactful.
"Mr. Zhao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm glad you're okay, ugh." She started feeling unwell again.
"Mr. Zhao, don't look or think, let's go over there."
The hostages who were safe were taken to the ambulances that had arrived at the scene, where medical personnel checked them one by one.
In fact, apart from Rong Daming being hit a few times by the kidnappers, the other hostages did not suffer any physical harm; the serious injuries were psychological.
This incident is likely a lingering psychological shadow for many people, and they need psychological treatment.
Zhao Qinglan finally met and spoke with her aunt, and the two embraced.
"Qinglan, it's so good that you're alright. If anything had happened to you, how would your aunt explain it to your mother?"
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I've caused you so much trouble again."
Even though my aunt is rich, she shouldn't let it be wasted like this, especially since it's for her. "Auntie, that three million Hong Kong dollars is mine, I'll pay you back."
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Sun interrupted her. "Silly child, the money will be returned to me later, but I've already decided to donate 500,000 of it to the police."
If she hadn't had a good relationship with high-ranking police officials, she wouldn't have been able to communicate with Inspector Wu to understand the situation.
"Auntie, I'll pay the 500,000 yuan myself." She had already caused her aunt a lot of trouble, and she couldn't bear to let her aunt pay any more money.
Seeing her niece's insistence, Madam Sun finally agreed.
Although Zhao Qinglan's Lanxin may not seem like a particularly powerful company on the surface, her real income mainly comes from the dividends from Yaohua, Zhang Yu's company.
If you do real estate well, the profits can be astonishing.
Yaohua has been developing well in recent years.
Her husband doesn't care about these things, and Zhao Qinglan has never mentioned the children. In fact, she already owns a lot of property.
At least, she can still come up with that HK$500,000.
Having experienced life-or-death crises, she has a clearer understanding of money as an external thing; it should be used to its fullest potential when it can be of use.
Because the kidnappers' initial target was Rong Daming, and Zhao Qinglan and Ding Yu's actions saved him, the Rong family was very grateful to Zhao Qinglan and Ding Yu.
They were overjoyed that their son was safe and sound, and they decided to give away the ransom money they had raised to redeem him as a token of their gratitude.
Zhao Qinglan didn't want it at first, but her aunt told her.
Families like theirs are most afraid of owing favors. If Zhao Qinglan doesn't accept them, the other party will always feel that their sincerity is lacking and will remember this matter.
If she accepts it, the other person will feel much better.
That's how Zhao Qinglan finally accepted all the money.
Zhao Qinglan told Ding Yu to keep her share and dispose of it as she pleased.
One million Hong Kong dollars, Zhao Qinglan 500,000, Ding Yu 400,000, and Liu Dandan 100,000.
Zhao Qinglan donated the 500,000 yuan directly to the police force, which saved her from having her company lend her the money.
As for the 500,000 yuan she originally said she would contribute herself, she plans to use it for charity when she returns to the mainland.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan have never seen so much money in their lives.
For a moment, I was so excited that I didn't know what to do.
After all, no matter how brave they are when facing kidnappers, they are still human beings.
This money would allow them to live a very good life now.
However, after calming down from their initial excitement, they remembered their original intention to save the person. Knowing that Zhao Qinglan's money was to be used for charity in mainland China, the two discussed it briefly. Ding Yu donated 200,000 yuan and Liu Dandan donated 100,000 yuan to be used for related charity work in mainland China.
As for the rest, the two of them plan to buy their own house in the city.
Zhao Qinglan expressed her appreciation and support for their decision to buy property.
She had even considered that since the two girls were now making so much money, she was mentally prepared for them to suddenly quit.
Unexpectedly, the two did not back out in the end; instead, they donated money and bought property, showing that they were not blinded by the money at all.
After this crisis, she trusted and felt more affection for the two of them.
Since the two of them have chosen to stay, she will treat them even better in the future.
Because of this incident, Zhao Qinglan and others were featured in the city's newspapers and news reports, becoming a hot topic for a time.
In the distance, Li Huai felt his right eyelid twitching uncontrollably. Thinking of his wife, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he became worried.
The wife training course was supposed to be finished today, so I should ask her when she'll be back.
When he called to contact them, Butler Defu answered the phone and only said that Miss and Madam were not at home, and that he would let them know when Miss returned.
But after hanging up the phone, Li Huai felt that Butler Defu seemed a little strange.
